The Monopodal Squat, Forward Lunge and Lateral Step-Up exercises are commonly performed with one's own body weight for rehabilitation purposes. However, muscle activity evaluated using surface electromyography has never been analyzed among these three exercises. Therefore, the objectives of present study were to evaluate amplitude EMG gluteus medius, maximus, biceps femoris, vastus lateralis, medialis rectus femoris muscles in participants performing Step-Up, Squat A total 20 physically...

Muscular was assessed using both objective (i.e., handgrip strength, biceps curl, squats, isokinetic test) perceived International Fitness Scale) indicators. Psychological ill-being indicators: anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness; psychological well-being satisfaction...
Abstract Background and objectives Gait variability is associated with brain morphology cognitive performance in aging. This study aims to examine the associations between gait parameters (derived from stride length, step time, velocity) gray matter volume (GMV) its function cognitively normal older adults. Research design methods 87 adults (48 female) aged 65-80 AGUEDA trial participated this cross-sectional analysis. The Optogait system was used record parameters. T1-weighted images were...
The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the levels of electromyographic activation in pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, triceps brachii, forearm, rectus abdominis, external oblique, femoris muscles during a horizontal bench press two situations: 1) with feet on ground; 2) active hip flexion 90° knee flexion. Twenty young men were familiarized procedure calculation one-rep max (1RM). In second session, activity values recorded both situations (with ground vs knees at 90°) 60% 1RM....
Alzheimer’s disease is currently the leading cause of dementia and one most expensive, lethal severe diseases worldwide. Age-related decline in executive function widespread plays a key role subsequent risk. Physical exercise has been proposed as non-pharmaceutical approaches to improve ameliorate cognitive decline. This single-site, two-arm, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) will include 90 cognitively normal older adults, aged 65–80 years old. Participants be 24-week...
ABSTRACT Background Handgrip strength has been related with multiple health outcomes, including all-cause mortality and morbidity. testing is a highly valid reliable method, included in evidence-based fitness test batteries from preschool to older ages. Previously, Jamar TKK dynamometers have shown good reliability validity against known weights. However, the cost of these major limitation for implementing handgrip certain countries settings, as well at large scale. Recently, ten times...
Foot stiffness is a modulator of sprint performance. However, studies that analysed foot angular velocities using inertial measuring units (IMU) for different events within the contact time phase are scarce. The aim this study was to investigate relationship between step-by-step kinematics and performance during 50-metre in experienced male female sprinters. were measured IMU devices integrated with 3-axis gyroscope laser gun. main findings men performed faster sprints (6.11 ± 0.35 s vs....
To provide a comprehensive CERT (Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template)-based description of the resistance exercise program implemented in AGUEDA (Active Gains brain Using During Aging) study, randomized controlled trial investigating effects 24-week supervised executive function and related structure cognitively normal older adults. 90 adults aged 65 to 80 were (1:1) a: 1) group; or 2) wait-list control group. Participants group (n = 46) performed 180 min/week (3 sessions per week, 60...
A decrease in ankle dorsiflexion causes changes biomechanics, and different instruments have been used for testing under static conditions. Consequently, the industry of inertial sensors has developed easy-to-use devices, which measure dynamic provide additional parameters such as velocity, acceleration, or movement deviation. Therefore, aims this study were to analyze concurrent validity test-retest reliability an device measuring weight-bearing dorsiflexion. Sixteen participants tested...
To understand the physical demands of sexual intercourse, it is necessary to monitor kinematic parameters this activity using relatively non-invasive technology. The aims study are analyze validity and reliability an inertial device for monitoring range motion at pelvis during simulated intercourse compare (ROM). Twenty-six adults were monitored (WIMU) a capture system (gold standard) in test that consisted 4 sets 20 in-out cycles (IOC) missionary cowgirl positions. Men women tested...
Introduction Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have a higher risk of developing cognitive impairment and mental health disorders compared to the general population. Physical exercise might improve their brain health. The overall goal HEART-BRAIN randomized controlled trial (RCT) is investigate effects different types on outcomes in patients CAD, underlying mechanisms. Methods This three-arm, single-blinded RCT will include 90 CAD (50–75 years). Participants be into: (1) control...
The aim of the study is to investigate association cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscular strength indicators with gray matter volume (GMV) whether fitness-related regions GMV are associated executive function (EF) in cognitively normal older adults. Ninety-one adults (71.69 ± 3.91 years; 57.14% females) participated this from AGUEDA trial. CRF was measured by a 2-km walking test 6-min test. Muscular handgrip, biceps curl, squats, isokinetic tests. T1-weigthed images were obtained...
The aims of this research were to analyse the effect that different playing positions, passage durations and starting status had on most demanding passages (MDP) play in professional football matches. Players categorized by positions MDP distance (DIS), high-speed running (HSRD) sprinting (SPD) analysed for four (1, 3, 5 10 minutes). results indicated DIS (p < 0.001), HSRD 0.001) SPD covered per minute decreased as increased all positions.

Abstract Background Amyloid beta (Aβ) is a protein associated with dementia‐related pathologies such Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The accumulation of Aβ in the brain leads to neurodegeneration, cognitive decline, and motor impairment. Those factors might appear years before onset apparent symptoms. There evidence for an association between gait performance levels. Previous studies showed that variability has been amyloid older adults mild dementia. Moreover, reduced velocity, greater...
